Getting started
Send your first file and read the result back.
Open a chat with @MediaShaperBot and press Start. The main screen lists what the bot can do and has buttons for the main actions.
Two ways to start
Action first. Press an action on the main screen, for example Compress or convert media, and the bot asks for a file of the right type. When you send it, you go straight to the settings. The Processing history button, with the number of your jobs, appears at the top once you have processed something.
File first. Send any supported file. The bot replies with a card that lists every action available for that type of file, with the price on each button. Actions such as sound from video, video to GIF or an archive of images appear on this card, not on the main screen. You can send the file straight away, without pressing anything first, and you can also forward a message with a file to the bot.
While the first 10 free jobs last, the buttons carry no price. Under the card, the bot shows your balance: how many of the first 10 free jobs are left, or your free weekly credits and purchased credits.
Settings, then the result
After an action you answer one to three questions with buttons (target size, format, resolution, bitrate). A Back button steps back. When the last answer is chosen, the credits are charged and the job starts; the result arrives in the chat as a file with a short caption.
The selection stays available for about 6 hours. If you come back later and the bot says the file has expired, send it again.
For videos, a switch on the card controls how the result is sent: as a file (default, no recompression by Telegram) or as a video.
